Artwork by Christopher Lucero is currently on display in our Quiet Room. Mr. Lucero paints the faces of his subjects as Mexican sugar skulls and pairs their portraits with their life stories, showcasing unique experiences from around Chicagoland. Lucero believes everyone has a story to share and strives to offer valuable lessons through diverse narratives.
Visit the library through March to see these unique portraits in person during library hours.
